Listen First to Target Audiences in Facebook
Rather than using keywords like a search engine, Facebook targets interests, hobbies, conversations.
Listening to the conversation is vital for success. What is your target audience talking about? How can you connect?
Targeting for “likes and interests” should focus on topics or themes instead of individual search terms.
Likes and interests
Listen & Analyze
Optimize & Goals
Track & Evaluate
These are the four categories Facebook offers for targeting your media buy to the correct audience.
Facebook’s dashboard and metrics provided:
• Social: the percentage of your ad’s impressions where the viewers saw at least one friend who liked your Page, Event, Application
• Clicks: each time a user clicks on your ad
• Impressions: each time an ad is shown to a user, regardless of whether the user clicks or takes any other action on the ad
• CTR (click-through rate): the number of clicks your ad receives divided by the number of times your ad is shown on the site (impressions) in the same time period
• Avg. CPC (cost-per-click): the amount you’re paying on average for each click on your ad
Leadership with Social Media Engagement
SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM. Customer service, PR, sales, marketing, branding and loyalty across multiple social channels.
ASSESS AND AUDIT. Use, needs, industry. Who’s talking about you? Where are they and what are they saying?
SOCIAL VIBRANCY. Finding and creating conversations and opportunities for involvement.
VOICE. Who are we speaking as and to whom are we speaking? Determine voice, tenor, feeling, direction, and consistency.
INTERACTIONS. Open nature of social media equals heightened expectation for transparency. PR spin plans in place.
RESOURCES AND COMMITMENT. Set up for longevity. How can we fuel an ongoing social media presence?
VALUE EXCHANGE. What does our target receive in return? What barriers to participation are necessary?
EXISTING SUCCESS. Can we leverage and connect with a movement or conversation already happening?
SOCIAL CURRENCY. Can we create a message that will drive our target audience to socialize around it?
SUCCESS CRITERIA. Army of friends/ followers is meaningless without right audience and motivation to desired action. Determine metrics.
Here is the sort of social media platform that agencies create for the Fortune 500 clients who will expect 80-hours of work per channel.
